Gina Hinojosa on Abortion

 

 


Do away with the criminal penalties for doctors

I think where there is bipartisan support is to do away with the 99 years imprisonment that doctors face when they choose to terminate a pregnancy with a mother to save her life. Doctors can be second-guessed by political boards, and they face 99 years in prison. They're afraid to touch women. Women are having to wait until they're at death's door. Too many women are dying in Texas because of it. I think there's bipartisan support to start to do away with these criminal penalties for doctors.

Voted NO on abortion ban with no rape & incest exceptions

Opposition Summary by ACLU (8/29/22): In Texas, a pair of laws together ban abortion at all stages of pregnancy, without exceptions for rape or incest, and with narrow exemptions for the life and health of pregnant people: SB 8 outlaws abortion around six weeks of gestation. HB 1280 creates harsh criminal penalties for providers and doctors for performing or aiding abortions at all stages of pregnancy.

Support Summary by Texas Alliance for Life (8/23/22): HB 1280 updates and improves upon the pre-Roe abortion laws (first passed in 1854) that the Supreme Court blocked in the terrible Roe v. Wade decision. Additionally, Governor Abbott approved an appropriation of $100 million for the current two-year budget for the highly successful Alternatives to Abortion program.

Legislative Outcome: Passed House 83-64-1 on May/6/21; State Rep. Gina Hinojosa voted NO; passed Senate 18-12-1 on May/13/21; Signed by Governor Greg Abbott on May/19/21
